This blog started out as a family blog. The name derives from the fact that, according to the Chinese Zodiac, all the members of my household are Monkeys.
Somehow, my hobbies started taking over, and I finally gave in. You'll still see an occasional "family" post, but mostly, this Monkey likes to show off.

too many projects?

Just how many (active) projects is too many, I wonder?

Currently, I'm hard at work on the Time Socks, and making pretty good, um, time, too.

A whole 2 1/2" now. I just might have a chance of finishing before next Friday.

Still working on the Amethyst Ribbon Socks, though they've been set aside until the Time Socks are done (or relegated to a slower pace). I'm just about done with the gusset.

why do I think of Tigger every time I look at these?

Actually, I'm wishing I'd finished these before picking up the Time Socks, because after working with the Felici yarn, this stuff feels positively course.

Taking up the bulk of my project bag at this moment are some All My Chickens projects. Though there are some that aren't getting hauled about with me (like I'm expecting to work on them at any given moment?), I have no less than 6 vying for my attention every time I reach into that bag:

﻿Then, just in case I get tired of working with yarn (or fabrics) I've got this needlepoint kit﻿

nor very far into it, but hey, sorting the floss took ages!

So, what I'm wondering is, where is the tipping point? If I added just one more project to the list, would it start to feel like too many to think about, thus leading me to work on none of them? Or would that take another half dozen or so?
